Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of electrical engineering systems requires continuous innovation in advanced materials to address challenges in energy conversion, power transmission, and equipment miniaturization. Piezoelectric ceramics, insulating paper, insulating oil, and ferromagnetic materials form the backbone of modern electrical infrastructure, but their performance limitations under extreme working conditions—such as high voltages, thermal stress, and mechanical fatigue—remain a key issue. The latest advances in material synthesis, characterization techniques, and computational modeling have opened up new avenues for optimizing these materials. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between basic research and industrial applications by emphasizing breakthroughs in manufacturing technology and advanced testing methods.
We sincerely invite you to contribute to exploring new manufacturing technologies, cutting-edge testing protocols, and their applications in renewable energy systems, smart grids, and high-power electronic products. The submitted materials should emphasize scalability, environmental impact, and interdisciplinary integration. Both basic research and industry-specific case studies are welcome, in particular those that link laboratory innovation with practical engineering solutions.
This Special Issue aims to promote collaboration between academia and industry, accelerating the transformation of material breakthroughs into transformative electrical engineering applications. We look forward to your submissions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
